Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes #254

In "A Madman Shall Lead Them," Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes face a chilling mystery when Brainiac 5 uncovers that the fallen Legionnaires were not truly dead—just preserved in suspended animation. With tensions rising and R.J. Brande’s financial ruin exposed, the team must rely on the Subs to track down the elusive Super-Assassins. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Joe Staton, with colors by Gene D'Angelo, inks by David Hunt, and letters by Todd Klein, the issue’s cover by Dick Giordano captures the eerie intensity of the Legion’s darkest hour.
